I am using the latest Firefox mobile version on an android device. Google search is the only enabled search device. When I search in the address bar, I don't receive a google listing of sites. I am instead directed to the Wikipedia page about the item, the IMBD page if it is a movie, or a yahoo answers page if my query is similar to a question. This only began a few weeks ago, and I have to search from the Yahoo or Google mobile page to avoid this. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I may fix it?

Hi,

I'm sorry you're having this problem with search. I think this is a bug and I can reproduce it on my device running version 14. Can you tell me when you go to About:Firefox if you are running v13 or v14? That will help me when I report this.

As a workaround, when you type the keyword in the title bar, select Google from the list of search engines. This should make it search Google. Do let me know if that doesn't work.

Thanks for helping to improve Firefox for Android!

-Michelle

Hi,

As an update I think I found the bug on file for this (google browse-by-name mode takes you directly to the top search page rather than showing the google search results page). This is fixed in version 14 (which is currently beta on phones and 7"tablets). See bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754947. If you are using a tablet, you might not see this fix until a future version.

Thanks, Michelle

I am using version 10.0.4 on a Samsung phone. Google integrated search is the only add-on that I have enabled, so all searches should default through google. What you described in your second post is exactly what I am experiencing.
